The Moonlight Earrings 18ct in Yellow gold, hand cut and polished agate and rock crystal are handmade by Melbourne artist Anita Crowther, created for e.g.etal’s exhibition Site Specific.
“In my workshop I feel connected to the night and to the outside, the temperature and smell of the air, I can see the night sky through the open doorway. Outside I pause to view the moon. Just as with the meditative state of making, gazing up at the moon also brings a certain peace. The vastness and darkness of the sky is pierced by the blazing white brilliance of the moon, a familiar, watchful beacon. The moon bestows a promise of transcendence. It’s comforting. These earrings are an ode to the moon.”
Site Specific, presented as part of Radiant Pavilion Naarm/Melbourne Contemporary Jewellery and Object Biennial, is an exhibition that pays homage to the relationship between the interior and exterior of our being, and the inability to separate oneself from their environment.
Pieces from this collection will be shipped at the conclusion of the exhibition (from 3 October, 2024).
